Grambling State won the Celebration Bowl when it blocked an extra point set back 15 yards by an excessive celebration with just over two minutes left, holding off North Carolina Central 10-9 Saturday, the AP reports. Down 10-3, North Carolina Central had a chance to pull even after Quentin Atkinson shook loose and caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from a scrambling Malcolm Bell late in the 4th quarter. But Atkinson took off his helmet while reveling with the crowd, drawing a personal foul penalty and moving the extra point back. Grambling State's Joseph McWilliams surged in and swatted kicker Brandon McLaren's 35-yard extra-point try to preserve the Tigers' edge. Deadspin has the video.

Any parent who lets their kid play football should be investigated for neglect. If were going to put negligent parents into jail (and throw away the key) for forgetting their kid is asleep in the back seat of the car... then people who let their kid play football are probably in the realm of criminal neglect.

My team is a big underdog in their New Year's day bowl game, the Late Hit Bowl.

The irony is that the team just missed qualifying for the Excessive Celebration Bowl.
